Labuan Island, one of the three federal territories of Malaysia, is popular for its duty-free shops.

On weekends, this is a popular hangout for Bruneians. You can buy chocolate, perfumery, alcoholic beverages here at attractive prices. The Malaysian Navy and Air Force are also based here.
You will visit the following during the tour:
– the Labuan Museum, which tells the story of Labuan from British colonial times to World War II and the declaration of Labuan as a federal territory;

– The Labuan Coal Mine Museum, on the grounds of which there is a chimney, which is a kind of mystery. The 106-foot-tall structure is made of 23,000 red bricks imported from England. At first it was thought to be a ventilation pipe, but it was recently discovered that there were no traces of smoke, so its purpose remains a mystery.
